Faced with an increasingly challenging environment, it’s time to look at your lab from a different angle.

bioMérieux Industry, as a Microbiology expert, has adapted and applied LEAN techniques to meet each lab’s specific needs and challenges.

bioMérieux Lab Consultancy through LEAN methodology

LEAN is a methodology developed by Toyota for manufacturing and involves a set of principles, practices and methods for designing and improving processes. The main objective of LEAN is to maintain the quality of production with less work and reducing time between the customer request and delivery of final results by reducing or eliminating “waste” (non-added value task).

bioMérieux : your transition partner

Based on the combination of our microbiology expertise and LEAN knowledge, we can help you identify opportunities to remove “waste” to optimize your organization and increase your efficiency.

As your partner, we analyze your laboratory to provide you tailor-made, high-performance solutions. 

 

bioMérieux Lab Consultancy will enable you to:

  • Increase productivity
  • Streamline processes
  • Optimize cost
  • Focus lab personnel on tasks with higher added-value

BEFORE : Flows crossing  and lots of transports, movements

AFTER : Forward motion and reduced fatigue for the lab staff

 

bioMérieux Lab Consultancy recommendations lead to new optimal lab layout with continuous flow, a more streamlined workload, and increased productivity: minimum 30% improvement gains.
